Katy Perry is a woman that hit the pop field running and hasn’t slowed down. She’s a contralto singer, songwriter, guitarist and actress who has so much talent that she turns everything she touches to gold (or in the music business, platinum). This brilliant young woman got her start in gospel music and actually has a gospel album out under the name Katy Hudson, but it is her pop tunes that have taken the music scene by storm. Ms. Katy has won many awards already, but despite numerous nominations the Grammy has eluded her. Katy Perry is the first woman, and second artist overall after Michael Jackson, in the 53-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart to have five songs from one album land in the number one spot.
I became a fan of Ms. Katy’s through her music, but I will admit that her acting abilities and the companies that orchestrate her music videos have made me an even bigger fan. They are just fantastic, well produced and funny. Here is some of her work, which I hope you like as much as I do.
